Excerpts from Mathieu Malaterre's message of Wed Dec 08 11:59:32 +0100 2010: [memory usage of short-lived process] > Any other tool, other than pmap to do find that information ?

If it's only a single process you're interested in (i.e. it doesn't spawn child processes) then /usr/bin/time (_not_ the "time" built-in of bash) might be a useful approximation: sascha.silbe@twin:~$ /usr/bin/time ls > /dev/null 0.00user 0.00system 0:00.01elapsed 50%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 4064maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+312minor)pagefaults 0swaps Another approach is BSD accounting. See the 'acct' package; IIRC I used the "sa" tool. Sascha -- http://sascha.silbe.org/ http://www.infra-silbe.de/
